Google Camera features an “updated UI that gets out of your way” as well as a large capture button that ought to make it pretty easy to snap photos. The app also includes a 100 percent viewfinder that allows users to get the maximum resolution from their photos.

The app includes a number of software features for capturing and editing shots, including Photo Sphere, Lens Blur for creating a shall depth of field and a high-res Panorama mode.

We’ve seen several companies release standalone versions of their Android apps in the Play Store recently, including HTC, Motorola and Google. This is a great trend because it allows those firms to more quickly issue updated versions of their apps, and in this case, it also lets more users try out Google’s own apps.

Google Camera is compatible with phones and tablets running Android 4.4 or higher. You can download it by hitting up the Play Store link below. Once you do, be sure to leave your first impressions in the comments section!

Nice but still unless still no option for 16:9, not even 6megapixel 16:9 on my nexus 5.

Every device in the world is widescreen, some like 4:3 but give us a choice please.

Wow. It works well. I just installed it on a Moto X Dev model. It works well. I like the Lens Blur, works much better than I thought it would. The image is a little dirty (noise) but will work for general usage.

Am I wrong, or did it eliminate the time-lapse option under the video camera also?

Where did the photo self timer go?

Making it 4.4 and up only is a bad move. 4.4 isn’t even the leading build on most phones. Not cool Google. Should be at least 4.3 and above.
